Vision

We are dedicated people associated with Clay High School, Oregon, Ohio, reflecting on the past, experiencing the present and creating the future while having fun and contributing to the academic and personal goals of Clay High students. We provide the vehicle for carrying on the legacy of ClayHigh School.

MissionClay High Alumni & Friends Association is committed to providing a forum for peoplewho are alumni and friends of ClayHigh School. By gathering to have fun through fellowship, this association will promote opportunities for ClayHigh School students to realize their academic and personal goals.

Our theme "fun raising" will contribute to fundraising and will help ClayHigh School sustain its legacy of excellence in educating students and prepping them for life. We will also help students advance academically and personally in the community through scholarship and personal involvement.

What Does CHAFA Do?Clay High Alumni & Friends Association sponsors two events each year. The Kelly Miller Circus was hosted in 2013, 2014, and 2015, and was a huge success. Hosting the circus replaced our Chopper Dropper fundraiser. Fund raising events such as this help us maintain our scholarships and pay for the publishing costs and postal expenses of our bi-annual Screaming Eagle publication.

Our second event is the all class reunion, appropriately named Groove in the Grove since it's held at Oak Shade Grove, in Oregon. This event lets alumni and friends enjoy a great time dancing and reminiscing. Not only does this function provide a place to meet old friends and make new ones, it is also a great place to hold YOUR class reunion. CHAFA takes care of the place, food, drinks and music. All you need to do is invite your former classmates!

Although the Groove is not a money making event, any additional profit is put back into CHAFA to use towards assisting individual organizations at Clay High School. So far we have purchased two display cases for trophies and awards at the high school. Additional donations have been given to the Crystal, The Eagle, Operation Graduation, Limelighters, the Korean, Vietnam, and Defense of Freedom Memorials at Clay, Cheerleaders, Athletic Boosters, Jazz Band, Academic Boosters as well as the care and keeping of the CHS Mascots. Donations have also been contributed to the Hank Spring Memorial Gymnasium and most recently to the visitor's side press box in Memorial Stadium.
CHAFA is also the organization that has recognized the superb accomplishments and contributions of Clay graduates and friends of Clay High School by way of the CHAFA Hall of Fame. Each year CHAFA accepts nominations and voting is held to select new inductees into the Hall of Fame.

CHAFA continues to support the Memorial Garden located with the Clay High Memorial Stadium. The Memorial Garden is the site where war memorials honor our veterans who have lost their life while in military service to our country.

CHAFA holds bi-monthly meetings at Clay. All are invited to join the committee and new ideas are always welcome. Become involved a lot or a little. You may contact Tammy Hughes, CHAFA President, at 419.693.0665, ext. 2044 with any questions, concerns, and meeting dates.
